naked at sea

we bear at the shore
like monks our muscles
and bones

lubricated           our fat
our gestures
naked at seaedge

we are saying
it's useless      
for armor against this blue


                                           (our hair     our skeletons
                                            we tuck them
                                            in our cities)


but at the ocean
we humiliate ourselves in front of god
walk into doubt       sheathed with salt     glass church

we surrender because we know this deep   will drown our children  erode the ground beneath us  show us flight  show us anchor  dissolve our lies  burry our laws   and make us fossils.
